Ericsson and Hexagon examined five different smart manufacturing use cases that will enable manufacturers to conduct their operations more efficiently: autonomous mobile robots (AMR), collaborative robots, digital twins, augmented reality and asset condition monitoring. The report will show that all the use cases can pay for themselves in three to five years, and when all five are deployed together, payback can occur within two years.

What you’ll learn:

1. How flexible production is critical for meeting growing customer expectations for faster delivery and more customized products
2. The many ways connected factories can boost efficiency, safety, reliability and ultimately profitability
3. How it’s possible for a mid-sized factory to generate a 116% return on investment within five years
